Ngakho-ke, njengoba mina ngokwami sengichwayisisile konke kusukela ekuqaleni, lami ngikubone kufanele ukuthi ngikulobele umlando oqondileyo, komkhulu ohloniphekayo uTheyofelasi

5 Katema che Helode paŵaliji mwenye jwa ku Yudea, paliji ni jwambopesi jwa Akunnungu jumo liina lyao che Sakalia jwa mpingo wa ŵambopesi waukwimililwa ni che Abiya. Ŵankwawo ŵaŵilangagwa che Elisabeti, nombewo ŵaliji ŵa lukosyo lwa jwambopesi che Haluni.
Ngesikhathi sikaHerodi inkosi yaseJudiya kwakulomphristi okwakuthiwa nguZakhariya, owaye ngowesigaba sika-Abhija, umkakhe u-Elizabethi laye wayengowosendo luka-Aroni.
6 Wose ŵaŵili ŵaliji ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, achitamaga nkukamulisya makanyo ni malajisyo ga Ambuje pangali sambi.
Bobabili babelungile emehlweni kaNkulunkulu beyilandela yonke imilayo leziqondiso zeNkosi bengasoleki.
7 Nganaakola ŵanache pakuŵa che Elisabeti ŵaliji ngakuŵeleka, nombe wose ŵaŵili ŵaliji achekulwipe nnope.
Kodwa babengelabantwana ngoba u-Elizabethi wayeyinyumba njalo bobabili basebeluphele.
8 Lyuŵa limo che Sakalia pajaliji samu jao jakupanganya masengo ga chimbopesi pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu,
Kwenzakala ukuthi isigaba sikaZakhariya siyiso esasimiselwe umsebenzi wethempeli ngalesosikhathi,
9 Mpela iyatite pakusyoŵeleka che Sakalia ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kwagudugudu, kuti ajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Ambuje atutumye ubani.
wadliwa yinkatho ngokomkhuba wobuphristi, ukuthi angene ethempelini leNkosi ayetshisa impepha.
10 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵasongangene ŵaliji paasa aninkupopela katema kakututumya ubani.
Kwathi isikhathi sokutshisa impepha sesifikile, wonke amakholwa ayebuthene lapho ayekhuleka ephandle.
11 Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje jwankopochele che Sakalia ni kwima kundyo kwa chilisa cha kututumichisya ubani.
Kwasekubonakala kuye ingilosi yeNkosi imi ngakwesokunene kwe-alithari lempepha.
12 Che Sakalia paŵammweni katumetume jwa kwinani ŵasupwiche ni kukamulwa ni lipamba.
UZakhariya wathi eyibona wethuka wesaba kakhulu.
13 Nambo katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Che Sakalia nkajogopa pakuŵa Akunnungu akupikene kupopela kwenu ni ŵankwenu che Elisabeti chammelechele mwanache jwannume, nomwe chimwaŵilanje a Yohana.
Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye, “Ungesabi, Zakhariya; umkhuleko wakho usuzwakele. Umkakho u-Elizabethi uzakuzalela indodana kufanele uyinike ibizo elithiwa nguJohane.
14 Chinsangalale nnope ni ŵandu ŵajinji chachine ligongo lya kupagwa kwakwe.
Uzakuba yintokozo lenjabulo kuwe njalo abanengi bazathokoza ngenxa yokuzalwa kwakhe,
15 Chachiŵa jwankulu paujo pa Ambuje. Ngaang'wa divai ng'o, chalongoswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kutyochela nnutumbo mwa achikulugwe.
ngoba uzakuba mkhulu emehlweni eNkosi. Kakumelanga anathe iwayini lanini loba yini ebilisiweyo enathwayo, njalo uzagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kusukela ekuzalweni kwakhe.
16 Che Yohana chiŵausye ŵandu ŵajinji ŵa ku Isilaeli kwa Ambuje Akunnungu ŵao.
Uzaletha abantu bako-Israyeli abanengi eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo.
17 Ŵelewo chiŵalongolele Ambuje akuno achilongoswaga ni machili ni mbumu mpela ji che Elia, kuti ŵalumbanye achatati ni achiŵana ŵao, chiŵatende ŵangakwajitichisya Akunnungu aŵanje ni nganisyo syambone ni kwaŵika chile ŵandu kwa Ambuje.”
Uzahamba phambili kweNkosi ngomoya langamandla ka-Elija, ukuguqulela inhliziyo zaboyise ebantwaneni babo labayiziqholo elwazini lwabalungileyo, ukuqondisa abantu abalungiselelwe iNkosi.”
18 Che Sakalia ŵammusisye katumetume jwa kwinani jo kuti, “Chichi chachichiimanyisye yeleyo? Pakuŵa uneji ni ŵankwangu tuchekulwipe.”
UZakhariya wabuza ingilosi wathi, “Ngingaba leqiniso lakho njani lokho? Sengilixhegu njalo lomkami useluphele.”
19 Katumetume jwa kwinani jo ŵaajanjile che Sakalia, “Une ni Gabulieli, katumetume jwa Akunnungu, ndumikwe kuŵecheta nomwe ni kunsalila ngani jambone ji.
Ingilosi yaphendula yathi, “NginguGabhuriyeli mina. Ngima phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngithunywe ukuzokhuluma lawe ngikutshela ngalezi izindaba ezinhle.
20 Mpikane, chimme jwangaŵelecheta, ngankombola kuŵecheta mpaka lyuŵa pachigakopochele gelego, pakuŵa nganingakulupilila maloŵe gangu, nombego chigatimile kwa katema kakwe.”
Okwamanje uzakuba yisimungulu wehluleke ukukhuluma kuze kufike lolosuku okuzakwenzakala ngalo lokhu, ngoba kawuzange uwakholwe amazwi ami, wona azagcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo esifaneleyo.”
21 Kele katema ko ŵandu wose ŵaliji aninkwalindilila che Sakalia akuno achisimongaga kukaŵa kwao mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
Sonke lesisikhathi abantu babelokhu bemlindele uZakhariya sebemangele ukuthi kungani wayethethe isikhathi eside kangako ethempelini.
22 Che Sakalia paŵakopweche paasa nganakombola kuŵecheta nawo. Nipele ŵandu ŵaimanyilile kuti aiweni yakwiwona mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta nawo kwa makono pakuŵa ŵaliji ngakuŵecheta.
Waphuma esesehluleka ukukhuluma labo. Babona ukuthi wayebone umbono ethempelini ngoba wayelokhu eqhweba ngezandla, kodwa esehluleka ukukhuluma.
23 Paŵamalisisye moŵa gao ga kupanganya masengo ga umbopesi, che Sakalia ŵausile kumusi.
Izopha lakhe seliphelile wabuyela ekhaya.
24 Kanyuma kanandi che Elisabeti ŵankwawo che Sakalia ŵaliji pachiilu. Nganatyoka mu nyuumba katema ka miesi nsano.
Ngemva kwalokhu umkakhe u-Elizabethi wazithwala wasezifihla okwezinyanga ezinhlanu,
25 Achiŵechetaga kuti, “Yeleyi ni yambanganyichisye Ambuje, angamwisye ni kundyosyesya soni syangu paujo pa ŵandu.”
esithi, “INkosi ingenzele lokhu. Kulezi insuku ilutshengisile uthando Lwayo yasusa ihlazo lami ebantwini.”
26 Pa mwesi wa sita wa chitumbo cha che Elisabeti, Akunnungu ŵantumile Gabulieli, katumetume jwa kwinani ajaule musi wa ku Nasaleti chilambo cha ku Galilaya.
Ngenyanga yesithupha yokuzithwala kuka-Elizabethi, uNkulunkulu wathuma ingilosi uGabhuriyeli eNazaretha, idolobho elaliseGalile,
27 Ajaule kwa mwalimwalipe liina lyao che Maliamu juŵatomelwe ni jwannume, liina lyao che Yusufu, jwa lukosyo lwa che Daudi.
ukuya entombini egcweleyo eyayithembise ukutshada lendoda eyayithiwa nguJosefa, owesizukulwane sikaDavida. Ibizo lentombi egcweleyo le kwakunguMariya.
28 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵanjaulile ni kwasalila, “Ngunkomasya, mmwejo jundi ni upile! Ambuje ali pamo nomwe!”
Ingilosi yaya kuye yathi, “Sabona wena othole umusa kakhulukazi INkosi ilawe.”
29 Che Maliamu paŵagapilikene gele maloŵe go ŵasupwiche nnope ni kuganisya kuti chikomasyo chi malumbo gakwe chichi?
Amazwi ayo amhlupha kakhulu uMariya wamangala ukuthi kanti kwakuyikubingelela bani lokhu.
30 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Che Maliamu, nkajogopa pakuŵa Akunnungu anonyelwe nomwe.
Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye, “Ungesabi Mariya, uthole umusa kuNkulunkulu.
31 Mpikane, chimme ŵa pachiilu, chimummeleche mwanache jwannume, nomwe chimummilanje Che Yesu.
Uzakhulelwa ubelethe indodana, uyethe ibizo uthi nguJesu.
32 Jwelejo chaŵe jwankulu ni chaŵilanjikwe Mwana jwa Akumanani. Ambuje Akunnungu chiŵape umwenye wa che Daudi, Ambuje ŵao.
Uzaba ngumuntu omkhulu abizwe ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke. INkosi uNkulunkulu izamupha isihlalo sikayise uDavida,
33 Pelepo chachilulongosya lukosyo lwa che Yakobo moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umwenye wakwe ngauika kumbesi.” (aiōn g165)
njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakhobe laphakade; umbuso wakhe kawuyikuphela.” (aiōn g165)
34 Che Maliamu ŵanjanjile Katumetume jwa kwinani, “Ana chiikomboleche chinauli pakuŵa une ngangummanyilila jwannume?”
UMariya wayibuza ingilosi wathi, “Lokho kuzakwenzakala njani njengoba mina ngimsulwa ngingayazi indoda?”
35 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵanjanjile che Maliamu, “Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chantuluchile ni machili ga Akumanani chigammunichile mpela mmwilili, kwaligongo lyo, mwanache juchapagwe chaŵilanjikwe Jwanswela ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
Ingilosi yaphendula yathi, “UMoya oNgcwele uzakwehlela phezu kwakho, lamandla akhe oPhezukonke azakusibekela. Ngakho ongcwele ozazalwa uzathiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
36 Atamuno che Elisabeti, alongo ajenu nombe ŵana chiilu cha mwana jwannume atamuno achekulwipe, awu mwesi wao wa sita kwa jwelejo juŵamanyiche ni ŵandu kuti ngakuŵeleka.
Lo-Elizabethi isihlobo sakho uzakuba lomntwana ekuluphaleni kwakhe, yena okwakuthiwa yinyumba usesenyangeni yakhe yesithupha.
37 Pakuŵa ngapagwa chindu changachikukomboleka kwa Akunnungu.”
Ngoba kakukho okwehlulayo kuNkulunkulu.”
38 Che Maliamu ŵatite, “Une ndili apano kapolo jwa Ambuje, ipanganyiche kwa une mpela intite pakusala.” Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani jula ŵajawile.
UMariya waphendula wathi, “Ngiyincekukazi yeNkosi. Kakwenzeke kimi njengoba utshilo.” Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
39 Pangakaŵa, che Maliamu ŵalinganyisye ulendo ni ŵajawile kwa kwanguya mu musi umo wauli mu ikwesya ya ku Yuda.
Ngalesosikhathi uMariya waphanga wenza amalungiselelo waya edolobheni elizweni lamaqaqa eJudiya,
40 Kweleko, che Maliamu ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ji che Sakalia ni kwakomasya che Elisabeti.
lapho angena khona emzini kaZakhariya wabingelela u-Elizabethi.
41 Che Elisabeti paŵapilikene chikomasyo chi che Maliamu, papopo mwanache juŵaliji nnutumbo mu che Elisabeti jwatungunyiche kwa kusangalala. Nombe che Elisabeti ŵalongweswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu,
Kwathi u-Elizabethi esizwa ukubingelela kukaMariya, umntwana weqa esiswini sakhe, u-Elizabethi wagcwala ngoMoya oNgcwele.
42 ŵanyanyisye, “Mpegwile upile kwapunda achakongwe wose ni jwele juchimummeleche jwana upile.
Wakhuluma ngelizwi eliphezulu wathi, “Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazane, njalo ubusisiwe umntwana ozamzala!
43 Une ni ŵaani atamuno achikulugwe Ambuje ŵangu aiche kukwangu?
Kodwa kungani ngithole umusa ongaka mina, ukuba ngethekelelwe ngunina weNkosi yami?
44 Nnole pambilikene pe chikomasyo chenu, kanache kakali nnutumbo mwangu katungunyiche nkusangalala.
Ngonele ukuzwa ukubingelela kwakho, umntwana osesiswini sami weqa ngentokozo.
45 Ndi ni upile mmwejo unkulupilile kuti chigatyochele gantanjile Ambuje.”
Ubusisiwe lowo osekholiwe ukuthi lokho iNkosi ethe kuzakwenzeka kuye kuzagcwaliseka!”
46 Nombe che Maliamu ŵatite, “Ntima wangu ukwakusya Ambuje,
UMariya wathi: “Umphefumulo wami uyayidumisa iNkosi
47 ni mbumu jangu jikusangalala ligongo lya Akunnungu, Nkulupusyo jwangu.
lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,
48 Pakuŵa Akunnungu akulolite kwa chanasa kulitulusya kwa kapolo jwao. Kwa yeleyo kutandilila sambano iŵelesi yose chachimilanga jundi ni upile,
ngoba ukunanzile ukuzehlisa kwencekukazi yakhe. Kusukela manje zonke izizukulwane zizakuthi ngibusisiwe,
49 pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaali ni Ukombole ambanganyichisye gamakulungwa, liina lyao lili lyeswela.
ngoba uSomandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu, lingcwele ibizo lakhe.
50 Chanasa chao ngachikumala kwa chiŵelesi ni chiŵelesi, kwa ŵandu ŵakwachimbichisya.
Isihawu sakhe sifinyelela kulabo abamesabayo, kulandela isizukulwane ngesizukulwane.
51 Atesile yekulungwa kwa nkono wao, ŵapwilingenye ŵakulikanganichila mu ng'anisyo sya mitima jao.
Uyenzile imisebenzi emikhulu ngengalo yakhe: ubachithizile labo abaziqakisa ngemicabango yezinhliziyo zabo.
52 Ŵatulwisye mamwenye mu itengu yao ya umwenye, ni ŵakwesisye ŵandu ŵakulitulusya.
Uwethule amakhosi ezihlalweni zawo, kodwa wabaphakamisa abantukazana.
53 Ŵakulaga ŵajikutisye indu yambone, ni ŵaali ni ipanje ŵalesile ajaule makono pe.
Ubasuthisile abalambileyo ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa abanothileyo ubaxotshe bengaphathanga lutho.
54 Achikamwisye chilambo cha ku Isilaeli katumetume jwao, achikumbuchilaga kwalosya chanasa chao,
Uyisizile inceku yakhe u-Israyeli, wakhumbula ukuba lesihawu
55 kwa che Iblahimu ni uŵelesi wao moŵa gose pangali mbesi mpela iŵatite pakwalanga achambuje ŵetu.” (aiōn g165)
ku-Abhrahama lezizukulwane zakhe laphakade, njengoba wakutsho kubokhokho bethu.” (aiōn g165)
56 Che Maliamu ŵatemi ni che Elisabeti mpela miesi jitatu ni ŵausile kumangwao.
UMariya wahlala lo-Elizabethi izinyanga ezazingaba ntathu wasebuyela ekhaya.
57 Kaaiche katema kakuligopola che Elisabeti, ŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume.
Kwathi isikhathi sika-Elizabethi sesiphelele esokubeletha wazala indodana.
58 Ŵapachiŵandi pao ni achalongo achinjao paŵapikene kuti Ambuje ammonele chanasa ni ŵasangalele pamo nawo.
Omakhelwane bakhe lezihlobo bezwa ukuthi iNkosi yayimzwele isihawu esikhulu bathokoza kanye laye.
59 Pagaiche moŵa nane chitandile mwanache kupagwa ŵaiche kukummumbasya. Ŵasachile kwapa liina lya che Sakalia, atatigwe.
Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili beza ukuzasoka umntwana, bafuna ukuthi bamethe ibizo likayise uZakhariya,
60 Nambo achikulugwe ŵatite, “Ngaŵa, nambo chaŵilanjikwe a Yohana.”
kodwa unina wala wathi, “Hatshi! Kathiwe nguJohane.”
61 Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Nambo, ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwali ni lyele liina mulukosyo lwao.”
Bathi kuye, “Kakho ebantwini bakini olebizo lelo.”
62 Pelepo ŵammusisye atatigwe kwa imanyisyo kuti asale liina chi lyasachile ŵaŵilanjile mwanagwao.
Bakhuluma ngezandla kuyise bedinga ukuthi yena uthanda ukuthi umntwana aphiwe liphi ibizo.
63 Nombewo ŵaŵilasisye chibao pa kulembelela, ni ŵalembile yeleyi, “Liina lyakwe a Yohana.” Wose ni ŵasimonjile.
Wacela isibhebhedu sokulobela, wamangalisa wonke umuntu ngoba waloba ukuthi, “Ibizo lakhe nguJohane.”
64 Papopo pepo che Sakalia ŵatandite sooni kuŵecheta achalapaga Akunnungu.
Masinyane umlomo wakhe wavuleka lolimi lwakhe lwatshwaphuluka, waqalisa ukukhuluma edumisa uNkulunkulu.
65 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵatamaga pachiŵandi nawo ŵajinjilwe ni lipamba ni ngani syo syakunguluchilwe mbande syose mu chilambo cha ikwesya ya ku Yudea.
Omakhelwane bonke bamangala kakhulu, kwathi elizweni lonke lamaqaqa eJudiya abantu babekhuluma ngalezizinto.
66 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵapikene yeleyo, ŵaganisisye mmitima jao achiliusyaga, “Ana mwanache ju chaaŵe jwantiuli?” Pakuŵa, isyene machili ga Ambuje galiji pamo nawo.
Wonke owezwayo ngalokho wamangala ebuza esithi, “Kambe uzakuba yini umntwana lo?” Ngoba isandla seNkosi sasilaye.
67 Che Sakalia, atatigwe jwele mwanache jo, ŵalongweswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni ŵalondwele achitiji,
Uyise uZakhariya wagcwala ngoMoya oNgcwele waphrofitha wathi:
68 “Twakusye Ambuje, Akunnungu ŵa ku Isilaeli, pakuŵa ŵaichilile ni kwawombola ŵandu ŵakwe.
“Udumo kalube seNkosini, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngoba ubuyile ukuzahlenga abantu bakhe.
69 Atupele Nkulupusyo jwaali ni machili, jwa uŵelesi u che Daudi katumetume jwao.
Iluphakamisile uphondo lwensindiso yethu endlini yenceku yayo uDavida
(njengoba yatsho ngabaphrofethi bayo abangcwele ekadeni), (aiōn g165)
71 kuti chachitukulupusya mmakono mwa ŵammagongo ŵetu, ni ŵandu ŵakutuchima.
ukusindiswa ezitheni zethu lesandleni sabo bonke abasizondayo,
72 Ŵaŵechete kuti chalosye chanasa chao kwa achambuje ŵetu, ni kulikumbuchila lilangano lyao lyeswela.
ukuze atshengise isihawu kubokhokho bethu lokukhumbula isivumelwano sakhe esingcwele,
73 Ŵaalumbilile ambuje ŵetu che Iblahimu, kuti chatupe uwe upile.
isifungo asifunga kubaba wethu u-Abhrahama:
74 Chatukulupusye mmakono mwa ŵammagongo ŵetu, ni kwapopelela pangali lipamba,
ukusikhulula esandleni sezitha zethu, size siyikhonze singelakwesaba
75 mu uswela ni umbone, moŵa gose ga umi wetu.
ngobungcwele langokulunga phambi kwayo ngazozonke insuku zethu.
76 Nomwe mwanangu chimmilanjikwe, jwakulondola jwa Akumanani, chimwalongolele Ambuje ni kwakolochesya litala lyao,
Wena mntanami, uzathiwa ungumphrofethi woPhezukonke; ngoba uzahamba phambili kweNkosi uyilungisele indlela,
77 ni kwamanyisya ŵandu ŵao kuti chiŵakulupusye kwa kwalechelesya sambi syao.
ukunika abantu bayo ukwazi insindiso ngokuthethelelwa kwezono zabo,
78 Akunnungu ŵetu chatende yeleyo ligongo akwete ntima wa unonyelo ni wa chanasa, ni chiwombolo kutyochela kwinani chichituichilile mpela lulanga lwa lyuŵa lya kundaŵi,
ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu wethu, ilanga liphuma lize kithi livela ezulwini,
79 ni kwalanguchisya wose ŵakutama mu chipi chekulungwa cha chiwa, chatulongosye kutama mu utame wa chitendewele.”
likhanyise kulabo abahlezi ebumnyameni lasethunzini lokufa, ukukhokhelela inyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula.”
80 Mwanache jwakusile ni kulimbichika mmbumu mwakwe. Jwatemi mwipululu mpaka lyuŵa liŵalilosisye kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
Umntwana wakhula waqina emoyeni; waphila enkangala waze wavela obala ku-Israyeli.
